Remember how much better it was when wrestlers did hard drugs (instead of playing video games like weenies) and were ALPHA AS gently caress!!!!!! :black101:

This guy seems to think we should go back to those days.



Also...FEMINISTS ARE RUINING IT!!!!!!

No but seriously, aren't a lot of the old guard wrestlers happy for the current locker room? Video games keep a lot of them out of drugs/trouble, as an example.

there's no way this dude doesn't have exactly 0 friends and is either embittered from alienation that let to him having no time for friends, is a toxic rear end in a top hat who doesn't understand why people hate him, or both

I'm guessing option 3 even if I am a little disappointed the locker room doesn't play video games and do drugs

Also no way with him not being an rear end in a top hat atheist or the worst type of "Christian" conservative if he's mad they don't form cliques to protect themselves and are actually friends

this is legitimately The Worst Person and everything wrong with the world in wrestling opinion form

Similar vibes of 2010 Miz with latching onto what little there was to grab a hold of. The fact he keeps rearing his head in the "300 people in catering area just to make sure nobody else can use them" era it just becomes even more obnoxious.

I will say something that could have really improved the Punk/MJF match was better lighting. The even lighting made it easy for TV recording but some proper mood lighting to make it feel really claustrophobic and drown out everything else would have been amazing.

And I know it's a bit cliched to compare wrestling to shakespeare (as shakespeare was in the day, being a mass-appeal with pointed storylines thing, and with high over the top drama) but 90% of the people who go to a shakespeare production who haven't studied the play or playwright beforehand would be lucky to get a third of what's going on. The ability for people to pick stuff up via context is absolutely dead these days. If wrestling can't drag people into its context god help anything that involves a bit of critical thinking, like politics or the news. Oh wait!

I said to my Da I had just started watching wrestling the other day. For once it was a thing I'm doing that he didn't immediately poo poo on. He started on about a weird respect for the performances and athleticism , and how lowbrow entertainment done with style and care can often deal with issues and storylines better than most things.

I guess he grew up in a time when British wrestling was a big thing and he caught a whiff of it in Ireland.

To bring up the old conversation about wresting Fandom caring about capital B Buisiness

xbilkis posted:

I think it’s way more pervasive (and more annoying) in wrestling for a few reasons:

-Many wresting fans seem to live in a state of paranoia about the medium ceasing to exist (which I guess is understandable to a certain extent, given WWE monopolization over the past 20+ years)


I've been thinking about this all day. We've lost so much in the US since 2001(on a major promotion level) that a lot about Number posting and such is just a reminder that AEW isn't going to randomly die to the US monopoly and there actually is a major wrestling product again.

Even on the regional and non-TV front, NXT was trying to destroy and homogenize the indies. Thank god they lost

I don't know, I feel the paranoia in this case is understandable

Dunno what you have an issue with there but I've been watching a week (after only watching wrestling when I was a young child.) If my takes don't align with yours it's probably because I'm not deep in the lore. No need to be a goon.

I'm mostly joking because that was the first time I heard someone suggest theater lighting and you seem extremely British

One look at almost anywhere but WWE would show the problem is just the WWE style being insanely boring and knee destroying, but the nazi sympathizer boot licker is just going to pine for the era where they were worked to die quicker.

i think something should be done about people trolling on twitter and then posting it here as a means of stimulation. it's practically importing off-site drama, which is a serious offense. beyond that, as you can see a few posts above, the trolling often catches real goons who paid their $10 to be respected.

Counterpoint: it's really loving funny
